Chapter 383: Dark God: Listener, Avenger, Devourer

Ivan looked at Vichy with trepidation, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.

Sweaty.

Although there is no evidence, there is a feeling that the dark faith is right in front of us. It has come to the world not through the saint, but through the former dark knight Vichy.

In order to please the pretty boy, did you change the track?

The idea was too disrespectful, Ivan prayed that it was because of his dirty thoughts. Although the goddess had a gigolo and was going to kill him to silence him, he knew that the goddess was still a good believer.

It must be like this!

Ivan took a deep breath and looked at Anastasia for confirmation, hoping that his daughter would deny his unrealistic fantasy.

Vichy is Vichy, not a goddess at all.

Sensing her father's inquiring gaze, Anastasia sighed inwardly. She had not wanted her father to know too much, but he still guessed it.

Since I have some speculations, I will not hide them, so as to avoid other troubles if I don't respond, and Wayne will have to bear the consequences in the end.

Anastasia nodded slightly. This person was the Dark Goddess. She told Ivan to keep a low profile and that silence was golden. He should keep silent if possible and it would be best to pretend that he knew nothing.

It’s over, the goddess really changed her tune to make the pretty boy happy!

Ivan raised his hand to cover his chest, his faith reaching new lows again and again. He didn't know how long he could hold on, but he knew that he would never be as devout as before.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have asked. It would have been better to just play dumb.

The father and daughter exchanged glances. One thought too much, the other thought too little. The Pope was extremely upset because of the misunderstanding.

According to the law of conservation, a smile does not disappear, it only moves.

The smile on Ivan's face shifted to Wayne's face. He looked up and down at the panicked Kane and thought to himself that this was a sure thing.

Triangular eyes, drooping eyebrows, and you still say you are not a villain!

When Wayne heard that Kane was going to cut the impostor who blasphemed the Dark Goddess into pieces, his smile grew even wider. This was a qualified villain who had chosen his own way of dying.

Wayne felt that he would have nothing to do next. The Dark Goddess had a broad mind, but a narrow-minded heart. Just based on the words "cut into pieces", Kane would be torn into pieces today.

On the other side, Kane was still attacking, angrily shouting, "Blasphemer, you compare yourself to a goddess, which is a capital crime of blasphemy, and... you even impersonated the Dark Knight Vichy. Take off your mask, who are you?"

Kane was very sure that 'Wei Zi' was not Wei Zi, and he said to everyone from a righteous standpoint: "The facts are before us. The Pope and the Saint betrayed the Goddess together, and there is also this fake Dark Knight. It is impossible for there to be two Chosen Ones in the world. The church's survival is at stake today. What are you still hesitating about?"

Everyone looked left and right, hesitant for a moment. Kane stood on the word "reason". The facts were as he said, and they had to believe it whether they wanted to or not.

But...

They were unwilling to believe that the Pope and the Saint had apostatized, especially the Saint, who, based on the scene before her, suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes was Senna, the acting Pope of the Church of Nature.

Senna: “???”

As everyone knows, Senna and Anastasia are of the same generation and have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years. Senna has repeatedly found fault with Anastasia, but has never been able to defeat her, so she resorted to conspiracy and tricks.

Anastasia has not appeared at the church headquarters in nearly twenty years. It is said that she was carrying out a secret mission and was seriously injured, and her strength has declined significantly.

He reappeared and stood on the side of the messenger of the Church of Nature together with the Pope. One of them falsely spread the oracle to capture the great sage, and the other handed over the Philosopher's Stone to someone else.

There is also a blasphemer who pretends to be the Dark Knight Vichy and is disrespectful to the Goddess.

Things have come to this point, and the truth has become clear.

Senna seriously injured Anastasia and let Wayne control her. She arrived at the headquarters of the Dark Church in the name of an envoy and threatened Ivan to hand over the Philosopher's Stone. The latter had no choice but to do so.

The Pope and the Saint are both under control. If the Great Sage is captured, the entire Dark Church will be controlled by the Natural Church. Senna has achieved such brilliant achievements since taking office. In the future, she will surely become the most prestigious Pope in the history of the Natural Church.

Yes, that's right, and it fits the dark church's stereotype of the natural church.

Senna: “…”

Everyone's brains were in a storm as they imagined the cause and effect. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than the image of Anastasia being deeply rooted in people's hearts. They would rather believe that the Pope had apostatized than that the saint had betrayed her faith.

Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: the saint is pure, and it is impossible to slander her.

"really interesting!"

Idnes saw everyone's little thoughts and wondered whether she should reveal the truth about Anastasia's loss of innocence.

Your saint not only betrayed her faith, but also gave her body and mind to the new faith without reservation. She was a saint in front of people, but she did something else behind their backs. She has long been a skilled technician.

When they learned the truth, the expressions on these people’s faces must have been very interesting.

Idenis nodded secretly, feeling that there was a way forward.

It's a pity that she couldn't do it. She also liked Anastasia very much. She was extremely talented and had outstanding character. If she hadn't been corrupted by Wayne, she would have personally brought her into the kingdom of God and brought her to her side to train her.

After watching for a while, Idenis was ready to close the net. She waved her hand to interrupt Kane's output and pulled out a black sword from the void - Twilight Despair.

The black light spread, and the inky black armor enveloped Idnis. The surging dark power made everyone present feel dry in their mouths and swallowed their saliva.

The facts are before us, the Dark Knight Vichy is authentic and there is no possibility of impersonation.

"Lord Knight!"

Everyone bowed hurriedly, and Ivan bent the lowest, to ninety degrees, with his upper body parallel to the ground.

After witnessing Twilight's desperate situation, the top executives became even more confused. Why were there two Dark Knights in the same era? Was he the only one?
What happened today? Was the Dark Knight also controlled by the Church of Nature?

How does Wayne have the ability to control the Saint and the Chosen Knight at the same time? Is he a Natural Knight?

Everyone was full of doubts and could no longer see how the situation would develop.

Kane was also full of question marks, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly: "Impossible, you... Lady Weisz... This is impossible!"

"Great Sage, do you still want to quibble after all this?"

Wayne took a step forward and sneered, "The victim is right here. Tell me, you killed the Dark Knight and intended to revive the God of Storm and Thunder. What exactly do you intend to do?"

There was an uproar in the audience again. You looked at me, I looked at you. Our minds couldn't keep up with the continuous plot twists and our heads were buzzing.

"That's impossible. She is definitely not Lady Weisz. There are not two chosen knights in the same era."

Kane shouted and pointed at Cheng Jian, "Even if she was, the goddess would not let the people of the Church of Nature investigate our Dark Church. You must have used magic to control them and then spread the oracle falsely."

"Why can't I be Vichy?"

Idenis smiled slightly and said to Wayne, "He seems to know a lot of things. This is not the place to talk. Goddess Messenger, can I take him somewhere else for private interrogation?"

The truth was right before his eyes. Wayne couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it, so he held the Philosopher's Stone and exerted slight force.

Three shadows flashed, and Kane, Idenis and Wayne disappeared in the conference room.

"Your Excellency the Saint, what is going on? Is this really the oracle of the goddess?" Everyone stepped forward.

"It is indeed the oracle of the goddess. She ordered me to invite Mr. Wayne to the church headquarters to investigate the great sage, and asked the Pope to cooperate secretly. This matter is of great importance, so you'd better not ask too many questions." Anastasia nodded.

"But……"

"Why doesn't the goddess let us investigate on our own? After all, Wayne is an outsider..."

Everyone was very disappointed. They blamed themselves for being incompetent and fell into panic of being abandoned. Seeing this, Anastasia comforted them, "No one said that Mr. Wayne was an outsider. He often listened to the oracle of the goddess. That's all I have to say. Don't ask and don't tell anyone."

Turns out he’s an undercover agent!
Everyone suddenly realized the truth, and through the process of reasoning, they figured out the truth.

----

Hall of Sages.

The palace of the great sage is far away from the council hall, standing behind the dark foot of the mountain.

The hall looks simple and solemn, with obscure runes carved on the walls. Black light occasionally flickers, and the runes move with it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Inside the hall, the outlines of the black pillars were looming, as if blending into the ubiquitous darkness. Only the crystal ball on the top of the hall emitted a faint light, illuminating the eerie atmosphere.

Pillars are arranged on the left and right, and a passage leads directly to the end of the hall.

On both sides of the passage, statues stand silently. They are great sages of all times, or magicians who have made outstanding contributions to the Hall of Sages.

Like subjects and servants, they quietly wait for their master's call.

Unlike saints and knights, the great sage's main service object is God.

The Dark Goddess has two subordinate gods who perform the functions of darkness, one is the Listener and the other is the Avenger.

At the end of the passage, on the towering wall, the dark goddess was shrouded in a black robe, her face was indistinguishable, and her long robe hung down in endless darkness.

On the left and right sides of the lower hand are statues of two subordinate gods, both in human form wearing black robes. They are also the main targets of worship in the Hall of Sages.

The two statues are tall and majestic, with blurry and mysterious faces, as if shrouded in a layer of dark power.

Their eyes were dark and deep, like black holes that swallowed up all light. They put their hands together and offered their most sincere blessings to their Lord God, Darkness.

An invisible wind swept past, lingering with an indescribable dark aura. A long and low voice echoed in the darkness, like some extremely ancient spell, which made the worshippers feel fear and awe and dared not act recklessly here.

Generally speaking, the oracles conveyed by the great sages all come from the listeners, and the avengers either keep silent or start war when they speak.

The Goddess of Nature has a subordinate god called the 'Prophet', the Goddess of Death has an 'Observer', and on the side of the Goddess of Darkness, the subordinate god is named the 'Listener', the difference is subtle, but they mean basically the same thing.

By the way, nature and death have three subordinate gods, but there are only two goddesses of darkness, sun and moonlight.

"Hey, why is it here?"

Three figures appeared in the passage, and Wayne looked at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand in confusion.

According to his idea, they should choose a small forest far away from the headquarters of the Dark Church and use mixed doubles skills on the Great Sage Cain, first torture his body, then torture his mind, and arrange them into the 108 Styles of Body Torture Art, and the truth will surely come out.

As a result, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and arrived at the Hall of Sages.

Wayne guessed the reason in a second, frowned and looked at Idenis beside him: "The truth is in the Hall of Sages, right?"

"I was just about to ask you, why did you come here? Why don't you go to the grove? There are fewer people there, and you can deal with me after you've dealt with the great sage."

Idnes was as cold as ice and said with disgust: "Don't be too happy too soon. I am not a woman who will fall down if pushed. I will resist."

"Let me be clear, I'm not the kind of person who gets more agitated the more I resist." Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Is this true? Then I won't resist?"

"……""Hahaha----"

Kane didn't hear the conversation between the adulterers. Seeing that they were in the Hall of Sages, he said that he was not destined to die. He laughed and said, "You are powerful and you have the Philosopher's Stone and Twilight Despair. I am no match for any of you. But you should never bring me to the Hall of Sages. This is my territory. I am protected by darkness here."

Is it possible that darkness is right beside me?
Wayne looked at Kane quietly. The crazier the opponent was, the calmer he became. If he thought about it carefully, the opponent was somewhat pitiful.

Another poor fellow being played around by the dark goddess!

On both sides of the passage, stone statues emitted black light. Kane took a deep breath, and the darkness in his body rose steadily under the blessings of his predecessors. The powerful force made him feel that he could kill Wayne and Idenis with one punch.

Kane knew very well that this was an illusion caused by the sudden increase in strength. If he really punched him, he would definitely be the one to fall.

He closed his eyes and muttered, his mind opening a channel to transmit his voice into another world.

Dark Kingdom!

Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly, and recorded the spatial fluctuation in his mind. He was about to peek into the true appearance of the kingdom of God, but when he thought of Idenis beside him, he quickly suppressed his curiosity.

I can’t watch it. Once I go there, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.

Idenis's expression remained unchanged, neither disappointed nor sighing. The dark game between her and Wayne had just begun. She made a big bet and wanted more than just part of Wayne's thinking.

She wants them all!

The card table is fair. The more she wants, the more she bets. Once she loses, she is nothing.

This road requires a race against time. She has been ahead for thousands of years and thinks she has a good chance of winning, so she'll just take it easy.

Back to the topic, as Kane whispered and called, a ray of thought came through the space channel and descended on Kane.

"Kane, what is the reason for summoning me suddenly?"

"Great Devourer, as you can see, something has happened to Lady Vichy."

Kane plays two roles and asks and answers his own questions.

The mind called Devourer looked at Wayne and Idenis, and immediately exclaimed, carefully looking at Idenis, and said after a moment: "In the thick darkness, there is a demigod like you who avoids the summons of the Kingdom of God... You used Vichy's body, what is your true identity?"

The Devourer had some vision, but not much, and did not recognize the Great Leader in front of him.

Idnes smiled and said, "I am under the order of the Dark Goddess to assist this lord beside me. He will become the third subordinate god of the Goddess."

"Nonsense!"

Kane's face suddenly became furious, and a large amount of thoughts poured into Kane's body. The looming life field spread out, targeting his rival Wayne.

Ah, what did I do?
Wayne complained in his heart, holding up the pale life force field inside him, with a look of difficulty and helplessness on his face: "Lord Devourer, it's unfair. I'm a legendary wizard, not even a demigod, how can I be qualified to be a follower god. Think about it carefully, she is a demigod, she is your competitor."

"That makes sense. I choose to kill you all."

The Devourer sneered repeatedly, Kane's eyes glowed scarlet, and black mist surged around him, transforming into the shadow of a coiled black python.

"Soskena the Devourer, in order to become a Subordinate God, you arbitrarily modified the oracle of the Goddess in the human world. You appear loyal but are actually selfish. You are not qualified to become a Subordinate God."

Idnes shouted harshly, as if she was afraid of the other party's power. Her guilty eyes were dazed, and she was somewhat timid. She stepped back half a step and protected Wayne in front of her: "This lord is different. He has outstanding moral character and is very compassionate. He is honest and trustworthy, respects others, and is always gentle and considerate to the weak. He never laughs at or despises others because of their plight. Only he can exercise divine power on behalf of darkness."

"..." x2
Wayne: Although it is a borrowed knife, it surprisingly makes some sense.

Suskna: Do you think I'm just a rookie? How can there be such a person in the world?
Soskna sneered at Idenis's evaluation. Although he did not descend completely, he was not blind and could see through Wayne's character at a glance.

Despicable, hypocritical, greedy, selfish, shameless, cowardly and servile...

as same as him!
As he was feeling disdainful, Soskna's murderous intent suddenly increased, and he developed an extremely strong hostility towards Wayne.

With all the above qualities, this kind of scum can achieve great things and must not be left alone.

The black python's shadow roared silently, and its huge thoughts turned into mental shocks, bombarding Wayne and Idenis.

Wayne tightly grasped the Philosopher's Stone and tried, but failed to teleport away. Facing the mental attack like a snake's kiss, he narrowed his eyes and faced it head-on.

boom! !

At the center of the collision of the two thoughts, black arcs jumped, tearing the void apart, and the materialized shock waves swept in all directions.

Soskna's murderous intention was even stronger. The legendary wizard had the strength to fight against him, let alone become a demigod.

Can't let him go!
The shadow of the black python turned from virtual to real, and the terrifying false projection of thoughts invaded reality and became real in the absence of magic as energy.

In an instant, there was a violent wind, lightning and thunder, and the blazing lightning and violent wind blades poured down like an overwhelming force, heading straight for Wayne's direction and also covering Idenis.

Wayne's eyes turned pale, and his life field avoided Idenis and only protected himself inside it.

The strong wind and lightning were all blocked outside, and the overwhelming gorgeous magic disappeared in an instant. All the violent energy returned to nothingness, as if it had never existed from the beginning to the end.

"Storm and Thunder..."

"Devourer..."

Wayne's eyes flickered and he roughly understood something.

The Dark Goddess has two subordinate gods. The candidate 'Devourer' Soskna wants to become a subordinate god, but he lacks the strength and foundation, so he sets his sights on Salosia and Set.

Mainly Seth.

In the early stage of the War of Faith, Salosiya had her information law taken away, and her remaining strength had been greatly reduced. Facing the pretty boy who kicked the door, she could only show her teeth and get angry. The goddess of the sky could not even maintain the most basic dignity, and the little power she had left was dispensable.

In order to devour storms and thunder to strengthen himself, Soskna found the great sage Kane. He ate more and more chicken soup and cakes, and successfully made him his lackey.

After that...

Wayne was a little confused and didn't know what role Weisz played in all this.

She died, presumably a victim.

The truth is 99% revealed. Wayne glanced at Idenis beside him. The dark goddess used him to reorganize the church and the kingdom of God.

He couldn't sort out the latter for the time being, as he didn't have the ability to do so. He wanted to teach Soskna a lesson for setting fire to the warehouse.

Okay, okay, since you want to play it this way, don’t blame me for being ruthless and killing the third subordinate god who is about to reach the top!

There was a gleam of murderous intent in Wayne's eyes, he had no grudge against Soskna, but he was quite unhappy with the actions of the Dark Goddess. His appearance fee was very expensive, and if he was asked to investigate, he would have to be prepared to lose everything.

boom! !

The almost materialized life force field spread out, flattening the surrounding pillars and statues, and knocking the enchanting and charming Idnes away.

The latter was in mid-air with a faint smile on his face.

The powerfully spread life field reached Kane, and the black python roared silently. The looming life field strengthened Kane's life field and infinitely raised his power through the realm of demigod.

With a loud bang, Wayne took three steps back.

'Kane' retreated again and again, all the way to the edge of the altar, and finally stopped with his back against the statue of God.

His eyes shot out two crimson rays of lightning, and he grinned, "Not bad, you have no rivals among legendary mages. If you can become a demigod and control some of the laws, you will become a qualified subordinate god."

He spoke words of admiration, each word filled with murderous intent.

Soskena admired Wayne. When he was a legendary wizard, he was never as powerful as Wayne. Out of inner respect, he vowed to completely destroy Wayne's physical mind today.

"Hoohoho!!!"

Kane spread his arms, and boundless darkness spread out from his body. The terrifying energy turned into a black sphere and expanded rapidly.

Wherever the black light corroded, the entire Hall of Sages was devoured except for the murals of the two subordinate gods and the Dark Goddess. The despairing black light carried the tolerance of darkness and the desire of a devourer.

Wayne tried his best to maintain the life field, barely keeping it at a 50-50 ratio. He waved his hand, and the Twilight Despair turned into black light. He flipped his five fingers, and the black sword chopped down straight.

"what?!"

Soskna was horrified. He didn't expect Wayne to be able to control the Twilight Despair and was caught off guard.

Swish!
The black sphere shattered with a sound, and vertical lines spread from top to bottom, splitting it into two on the spot.

The life force field around Wayne changed its shape, and the two sides opened up. The front part became a spear or a gun, like an arrow shooting down at a high speed.

Wayne stepped to the front and punched through the darkness that blocked his way. His eyes were filled with scorching heat and he smashed Soskena's head all over, causing black smoke to billow and flesh to shatter.

The bloody skull head and smoky hair look very similar to the Death Knight.

In a flash of black light, Wayne was already in front of Soskena. Twilight Desperate rushed forward and chopped directly on his bloody forehead.

Soskena spread out his five fingers, black light wrapped around his palms, and his five fingers rose up to cover the sky, infinitely enlarged in front of Wayne's eyes.

After a brief collision of thoughts, Wayne broke out of his mental confusion and Twilight made another three-pointer.

boom!
Soskna gripped the sword blade with his five fingers, his knees trembling under the pressure of the terrifying force, and his legs sank down to the knees on the dark soil.

After a series of failed attacks, Soskna felt ashamed. He roared like a tiger and his body suddenly swelled.

Black arcs of electricity flickered and enveloped Soskna's entire body, like a huge radiation source, with thunder and storms pouring out continuously.

The powerful energy touched Wayne's life position, and it was like a drop in the ocean, with no movement at all.

Soskna regarded this scene as the embrace of darkness. He faintly smelled the breath of devouring. His heart was alert and the murderous intent boiled to the extreme.

This fellow has walked the same path as me, and he may also bear the name of the Devourer.

Suddenly, there was a flash of black light, and Wayne's hand loosened. He was surprised to find that Twilight Despair was teleported away. Looking at the black hand coming towards him, his eyes were filled with heat. The violent heat wave and darkness collided at close range, and with a bang, the entire Sage Hall was overturned.

"Devourer, the evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to resist?"

Idnes shouted and stood on Wayne's side, saying, "The goddess has made a new choice. You are destined not to become a follower of the gods. Give up now. Although the goddess hates evil and loves good, she is also open-minded and kind-hearted. She will definitely give you a chance to reform."

"It's ridiculous. You don't understand the Goddess at all. Darkness is not such a merciful person. She is far more ruthless than you think." Soskna retorted.

"Pfft!"

Wayne covered his mouth and laughed, his eyebrows dancing with joy as he said, "That's not a fair assessment. You're being too euphemistic. That woman is a bad guy."

"Huh, you think so too?" Soskna asked in surprise.

Idnes: ()
She said that if Soskna couldn't become a god, no one could help him!
